In 2010, 84% of our $45.8 billion in net sales were made to the U.S. Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor. Our U.S. Government sales were made to both Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD agencies. Sales to foreign governments (including foreign military sales funded, in whole or in part, by the U.S. Government) amounted to 15% of net sales in 2010. The remainder of our net sales was attributable to commercial and other customers.

As I said, this type of firm gathers the overwhelming majority of their revenue through tax dollars, both ours and other countries. There is simply no denying it.


You didn't really think their business model changed that dramatically from one single year to the next, did you?
